No Nobel awards, no Fields Medals and no Turing awards. How can UVA call itself a decent academic institution?


UVA is a better than decent academic institution. It just doesn't compete in circles where some think it does. But these overall accolades are immaterial to most people. You only attend one part of a university at a time. Someone considering UVA Law won't care if there are no Nobels, Fields, or Turings. It will be a top 10 U.S. Law school despite that


We are not taking about law schools are we?


True that. We’re talking about the Times World University Rankings. Why is UVA is even being discussed here since it’s ranked so lowly?

Faulkner never studied at UVA for a single day.



No, he just taught there . https://faulkner.lib.virginia.edu/

Stop misleading people delusional booster. From the article: "Here you can listen in on William Faulkner’s sessions with audiences at the University of Virginia in 1957 and 1958, during his two terms as UVA’s first Writer-in-Residence."

Faulkner was a 'writer in residence' for 2 years - he did not teach at UVA.

If you want to count people such as 'writer in residences, fellows, visiting scholars, visiting researchers etc. etc., UNC has dozens.

That could be the reason that UNC overtook UVA to be the #4 top public.

Honey, i know you are pissed off that UVA has more Rhodes students (and is a small school!) than any other public in the U.S. but attacking like this isn't attractive. sorry your kid didn't get in. from wiki: The university's alumni, faculty, and researchers have included several U.S. presidents, heads of state, Nobel laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, Rhodes Scholars, Marshall Scholars, and Fulbright Scholars. Some 30 different governors of U.S. states have attended the university, as have numerous U.S. senators and members of Congress. UVA has produced 55 Rhodes Scholars, eighth most in the United States, while its alumni have founded companies such as Reddit, CNET, and Space Adventures.

No one cares during the application process about Nobel Prize laureates. No one. They care about the quality of education, small classrooms, Size, student-to-professor ratio, ROI, etc. Nobel doesn't touch any of those issues.


NP. I'll tell you what else no one cares about: Rhodes scholars. And the more you natter on about something NO ONE cares about, the dumber you look.



Everyone in the U.S. is obsessed (incorrectly) with Rhodes Scholars. Look at Bill Clinton! The Marshall is far more elite but no one in the U.S. knows that.

No, as you well know, that is all Pell grant and social mobility driven. Virginia has a wealthier base than N Carolina ergo there is no way on earth UVA can compete on the Pell grant front, just as it can't with California. If you aren't aware, a university has no idea whether or not an applicant is Pell grant eligible when they accept them. That comes after the fact. So long as USNWR rewards no of Pell grants, it will continue to reward states with disproportionately poor demographics. Everyone knows this.

Nevertheless, he was there - you said he wasn't. He was there teaching. So UVA gets to claim affiliation. You could have reserached this. Took me two seconds to find

Oh for God's sake, no one cares here about UNC. STOP UNC booster. UNC, unlike UVA at 30%, takes less than 10% OOS. No one from DCUM land can get in! just stop it. Glad you went there but stop.

By that logic, any university visited by a Nobel prize winner can claim affiliation. The list would be massive. The Nobel website recognizes where the laureate studied and their association at the time of the work. Neither applies for Faulkner.
